9. EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC : LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND MEETINGS ACT 1987

   Julie McKee
   Hearings Team Leader	3 October 2007
   Section 48, Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987:

   The following motion is submitted for consideration:

   That the public be excluded from the following part(s) of the proceedings of this meeting.

   The general subject of each matter to be considered while the public is excluded, the reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter, and the specific grounds under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this resolution follows.

   This resolution is made in reliance on Section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the particular interest or interests protected by section 6 or section 7 of that Act which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public, as follows:

   Item no.	General subject of each matter to be considered	Reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter	Particular interest(s) protected (where applicable)	Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution
   C1	Plan Change 163 - Environment Court Appeal	The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.	Section 7(2) (j) - The withholding of the information is necessary to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or improper advantage. In particular, the report presents background to negotiations to date with the appellant who is seeking amendment to the plan change to remove the provisions that seek garages and car ports to be preferentially sited to the rear, side or under buildings rather than on the street frontage. The disclosure of information at this stage could be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to court proceedings.	S48(1)(a): The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.
   C2	District Plan Isthmus - Plan Changes 123 - Mt Eden Centre Plan, 132 - Character Overlay, 145 - St Heliers Centre Plan - Environment Court Appeals	The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.	Section 7(2) (j) - The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations [including commercial and industrial negotiations]. In particular, appeals have been lodged with the Environment Court against the Council's decisions on plan changes 123, 132 and 145 in relation to the attaching of telecommunications equipment to buildings within the character overlay and centre plan areas, and the disclosure of information at this stage would be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to court proceedings. The exclusion of the public from the part of the meeting is necessary to enable the local authority to deliberate in private on its decision or recommendation.	S48(1)(a): The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.
